From Chatham Record. !

Some novel cases are to be tried at the
next term of our Superior Court. A depo-
sition was taken here, on last Saturday,
to be used at court in the trial of suit
brought by young man against young
woman to declare null and void an alleged
marriage between them. He complains
that he was forced into the marriage by
threats, and demands that the marriage
therefore be annulled, On the ground that
the law will not enforce a contract made
under duresS.
There will also be two cases on the State
docket against two magistrates of this
county, they having been bound over to
court after a preliminary hearing last
Thursday, upon the charge of practising
law as attorneys. The legislature of 1870
II made it unlawful for magistrate to
practice law as an attorney, and these are
the first cases under that law that we have
heard Of in the State. The punishment is
fine of not less than 5000, and, in the
discretion Of the Judge, removal from
Office.

MAIDENHOOD.
B1 HENRY W. LONGFELLOW

Maideni with the meek, brown eyes,
In whose OrbS a shadow lies
Like the dusk in evening skies!
Thou whose locks oHtshine the sun,
Golden treSSeS, Wieathed IN one
AS the braided Streamlets rum
Standing, with reluctant feet,
Where the brook and river meet,
Womanhood and childhood fleet!
Gazing with a timid glance,
On the brooklet's swift advance,
On the rivers broad eXpanSe!
Deep and still, that gliding stl cam
Beautiful to thee must seem,
AS the river of Il dream
Then why pause with indecisiOn,
When bright angels in thy vision
BeckOn thee to fields Elysian?
Seest thou shadows sadows sailing by,
AS the dove, with startled eye,
Sees the falcons shadow fly?
Hearest thou voices on the shore,
That our ears perceive no more
Deafened by the cataract's roar!
O thou child Of many prayers,
Life hath quicksands-Life hath snareS.
Care and age come unaWareS.
Like the swell of some sweet tune,
Morning rises into noon,
May glideS onward into June.
Childhood is the bOugh, where slumbereC
Birds and blossoms many-numbered;-
Aye, the bOugh with SHOWS encumbered
Gather, then, each flower that grows,
When the young heart oyerliows,
To embalm that tent of SHOWS
Bear a lily in thy hand;
Gates of brass cannot Withstand
One touch of that magic wand.
Bear through sorrow, wrong, and ruth,
In thy heart the dew of youth,
On thy lips the smile of truth.
o, that dew, like balm, shall steal
Into wounds that cannot heal,
Even as sleep our eyes doth seal;
And that smile, like sunshine, dart
Into many a sunless heart,
For smile of God thou art.

nations which control millions and have it
in their power to make or break, to sell or to
hold, now dictate the price. This is a
most unfortunate position to be occupied
by any agricultural people and there is
but one way out of this dilemma, only one
balm in Gilead, and that is united ac-
tion on the part of the oppressed until a
combination is made up, able under any
circumstances to cope with and overcome
the spectators in the farm products.
Farmers must look to their interests in
farming more closely. and all of these
meetings and gatherings show that they
are making move in that direction
Charlotte Chronicle
The farmer is directly interested in Sc
curing good roads, because he has to travel
over them, whether going on business or
pleasure. The towns are indirectly inter
ested in the question, for the more easily
the products of labor reach the market
the livelier and freer is trade. The season
of the annual road workings is now at
hand; road doverseers should use their ut
most efforts to get the highways IN good
condition. Probably the most important
point to be gained-and it is the one
usually least considered is the proper
drainage of the contiguous land to the
road. In the first place the roadbed
should be graded so as to slope from the
centre towards each side. should the sur
la
must be cut to carry off the water, else
work will be thrown away in raising a
grade. For, if water stands constantly on
both sides, the roadway must become wet,
and with the passage of wagons and other
vehicles over it Will be cut into holes or
worked into an impossible bog. 1t is ad-
mitted that the road laws generally are
defective and inadequate, and the greatest
vigilance and activity can only partially
attain the end sought good roads. Will
